I really enjoyed the concept but I think it lost the thread once the

kinky scenes started and the big jump happened…

 Gruesome and unsettling, but at its core a story about grief, loss, disability, and alienation through the lens of a monster novel.

5.0

This book starts out in the middle of a devastating, gut-wrenching, unforgettable scene.  It progresses meditatively through loss, family (and found family) reconfiguration in the aftermath, and finally, some sense of acceptance.  This was moving, unique, interesting and profound.
